QUOTE OF THE WEEK

‘What I did at The Open last year was the performance of a lifetime and I didn’t know how close I’d be able to get to that again, so it feels great to win. I wasn’t planning to play this week either, so it’s funny how things work out.’

It wasn’t all bad news for Swedish golf on Sunday. While Europe captain Annika Sorenstam was unable to lead her Solheim team to victory, Henrik Stenson returned to the winner’s circle on the PGA Tour. It was his first win since his epic Open triumph at Troon.
